Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Staff was nice and helpful.
Negative: My bedroom wasnt properly made and I had to go out in the middle of the night to get new sheets because the already placed sheets were so rough that it kept itching me. I rented the private bedroom, and I did not like the bedroom, it was old, the door had a crack in the middle that let light in from the hallway, it was just depressing all around. The washroom was good, but the hot water kept cutting off after every 10 seconds, I couldn't shower properly.
Summary: Wasn't what I expected but its okay.
